Tools Library

What is the Tools Library? Imagine an arsenal of ready-made tools for your IT department’s world domination plans. More tools are coming in later releases of PDQ Inventory, so you’ll want to jump in and get a hold of these tools now. The Tools Library is available with a current Enterprise license.

You can access the Tools Library in the left tree and then click the Tools Library tab to start importing your tools. Once imported, you can start using the tools on your computers by selecting any computer(s) and selecting the tool from the tools drop down.

You’re definitely not limited to what’s listed in Tools. With a Pro license you can create your own tools, integrate tools (such as Sysinternals and DameWare), and create neat automation to easily execute. You might recognize this feature as the previously named “Custom Tools”. Custom Tools are now simply referred to as Tools instead of being listed in Preferences can now be found in the main console tree. Click here to check out some ideas for tools you can create. Into PowerShell? You should be. We hosted Stephen Valdinger, a PDQ Inventory customer, at a live webcast were he shared some of his favorite tools he uses in his environment.
